I never forget who my friends are. LOL Kevin, don’t worry I’ll still talk to you even though I’m super-famous now ;-)

Congratulations. Hi bint, thank you as always for your kind words and support. I have to say the article was a much-needed pat on the back. Not just blog-wise but just feeling like I am doing something worthwhile in life. That can be difficult to hold on to when society mostly measures your worth by what job you do or how much money you earn. Stay-at-home Mums are valued mostly in the idea of it, not in reality. The fact that we are resourceful and full of ideas and creative and interesting seems to get lost along the way. I really believe that it is the most challenging and valuable jobs there is. Certainly it is for me. Hey Flubberwinkle, the article is on its way. Congratulations.

[blushing] I guess I just got my 15 minutes' worth of publicity, eh? ==================== DD, if it's not too much trouble, please e-mail me the article, flubberwinkle AT yahoo.com. I'm very curious to see what they wrote about the Greek bloggers as well. Oh my! [blushing]

A few years ago, the whole operation was in Athens (I had a friend who worked there), with only an advertising and customer service division consisting of one woman in New York, whom I met when I worked at the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese. According to their site, which apparently hasn't been updated since November/December ("current issue"), the main office has switched to Washington DC and when you 'subscribe,' everything is in US dollars.

Over the last couple of years, the quality has increased. I don't know how long Diane Shugart has been the editor, but I think she's done a good job. Art Dimopoulos is the publisher, and he's in Washington, DC. Once when I had a problem with a gift subscription, I contacted him directly, and he was very helpful.

The design/layout is a bit awkward and the content can sometimes be interesting, sometimes not. They keep changing ownership and staff, which makes their issues sometimes hard to find or not circulated at the times specified. I've tried subscribing twice to avoid missing an issue, and I've not received a single thing. So there you go! :) Cheers! Melusina, Odyssey has been around for ages!

Although I admit I've not heard of Odyssey magazine, I'm behind on all the cool publications these days - I haven't read a magazine other than Time in forever. That is pretty cool!

Great to see you getting recognition off-line as well, DD. Maybe we need to get ourselves an agent and start shopping round for a big, fat publishing deal,lol. Who do you want to play you in the Hollywood adaptation? Cool. Great to see you getting recognition off-line as well, DD.

Since tuning it that once, I check back more often to enjoy your edgy awareness on equality, justice and women's issues...it's such a welcome change from mindless fluff. Keep up the great work!
